No changes were made on the topic of staff workload either. Harrison remarked that the size of enrollment in the various programs is increasing at a constant rate ever year. “There is a gradual increase

every year towards maximum faculty workload.” He added that measures such as the module system employed by the journalism program have the advantage of shortening the duration of a student in college and reducing the cost to the student.

A cruise missile is a self-guided weapon system that is powered by an air-breathing engine.

talks business to students

Fantastic, funny, down to earth, and a great guy were the feelings of the third year Conestoga marketing students who met with one time NHL star, Eddie Shack. It was an assignment of the business course to explore the

makings of a successful business and interview the person in charge who in this case was Shack. He is involved with Mark’s Work Wearhouse, the Pop Shoppe and is opening a new restaurant; Caseys. They discussed why he started his business, difficulties and frustrations of running the operation, its rewards, hazards and, ultimately, the future.

States could start deploying them in Europe before the end of this year. The long-range cruise missile with a nuclear warhead is one of the most dangerous weapons ever conceived by man. There must be a major effort to reach an agreement banning the deployment and even the development of the cruise. It is against the interests of both sides and of the entire world to develop and deploy these missiles. They must be stopped before it is too late.

he told them his personal feelings, and thoughts about school. Shack felt school was not important. This could be the reason why he can’t read or write but he still managed to be a successful businessman. Gino Polo felt, “His strong, dominant presence made up for his lack of education.’’

gruff exterior overshadowed his true humanitarian nature.” He was referring to the fact that Shack went to the formal dinner wearing a cowboy hat and a red

Shack left them a quote to live by - “Nothing is worth doing unless you’re having fun while doing it.” This assignment gave the students a chance to meet some prestigious business people such as Phil Stoyer of the Pop Shoppe

produce cruise missiles. Unless they are banned, we shall have the problem of proliferation of cruise missiles. The implications are terrifying. There is no way of knowing the number of the whereabouts of cruise missiles. There is no way of verifying compliances with any agreement or treaty for the limitation or eliminaton of these weapons. This could mean the end of efforts for nuclear arms control after these deadly weapons have been produced in numbers. If agreements become impossible for nuclear cruise missiles there will be little point in trying to achieve disarmament agreements for other nuclear weapons. In an effort to perfect TERCOM, Canada has agreed to allow the United States to test the missiles in Canada. The main reason for this is that parts of northern Canada are very similar in climate and terrian to parts of the Soviet Union. By permitting production and testing in Canada, we would help to accelerate the development of cruise missiles so that the United

answers. First of all, no one needs to freeze their buns off at Victoria-

or whatever. Second, although the ice is not as well-kept as the indoor rinks in the area. Kitchener Parks and Recreation does its best to keep the ice in the best possible condition. The rink is flooded

regularly and when it snows, the snow is cleared from the ice open to skaters. Finally, you can just skate around and 'around and around until you get dizzy or go bananas, or you can create your own fun. In my humble opinion, creating your own fun is the infinitely superior alternative. (And it’s easy.) Take the old skating stand-by. Crack the Whip. You and your particular group and others who will probably join in, join hands. Then you watch the poor sap at the end who is desperately trying to find someone to join hands with. You watch his or her face change from smiles to anticipation to terror when the realization sets in that no one else is going to join the line. You watch the desperation as that poor sucker tries to get away from the rest but finds that his hand and subsequently the rest of his being is stuck until the bitter end - the big finale when finally his is released to careen about the ice, uncontrollably trying to avoid a tree, other skaters, the centre-post, the old cannon pointing ominously into the park, and various other obstacles. When he finally lands, you all laugh and try it again. Loads of fun - take it from a poor sap who has been stuck at the end more often than not and who is by no means a world-classtype skater - not even a Bridgeport-class-type skater. (I have trouble on linoleum floors.)

Another Victoria Park

fa-

vourite is tag on skates using the centre-post as home. For those who are good skaters, tag is no big challenge. You simply (when you’re it) pick the skater who doesn’t wear out his blades because he used his ankles more and tag him. Once this bom loser is “it” you know he doesn’t have a hope of catching you, so you skate around and tease him.

Once he was far enough away from home, the trick was to skate around the corner to the far side of the island, jump up the bank and run across the snow and up the stairs of the bandshell. From that vantage point, I watched all the proceedings without being caught. It’s funny to watch the person who’s “it” try to find you without success.

ENTERTAINMENT Without a Trace; constant tension by Roberta Graetsch Without a Trace is without a doubt one of the better movies playing in town. It is a realistic film with a topic we see too often in the newspaper.

Kate Nelligan plays Susan mother whose child never makes it to school one morning. Alex Selky (Daniel Bryon Corkill) has left the face Selky, a

Jocelyn Norris, Susan’s neighborhood friend, is played by Stockard Channing. Norris is necessary to the film because she adds a few light touches in an otherwise grim situation. She consols Susan but after a while seems to lack the sensitivity a good friend should have for support. Norris tells Susan to give up the fight and start living her life without Alex. In this scene their relationship definitely suffers and is on the verge of a total breakdown. Stockard channing was per-

Lead vocalist Frank Vernom captured the attention of his fans early in the evening. He did lack professionalism, however, Vernom dropped his microphone several times, and took repeated beer-breaks during songs. His constant signalling to his buddy off stage for cigarettes did not provide for an even flow of music in their preformance. With only a few exceptions, most of the people seemd to have enjoyed Teenage Head and the pub.

Selky, the estranged husband of Susan. He has a minor role and can’t seem to get as emotionally riled as Nelligan. Dukes’ anger is hard to believe as it doesn’t have as much power as Nelligan’s anger over having lost her only child. Graham Selky gives up on the search for his son when things start to look futile. This is in direct contrast to his wife whenever gives up looking.

Another flaw is the near absence of lighter moments. When a child is missing there is of course nothing to laugh about but to leave the audience
